Or else there willbe a conflict to disable the virtual server.3.7.2 Port TriggeringSome applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internetcalling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering isused for some of these applications that can work with an NAT router. You can set up PortTriggering on this page shown in Figure 3-30: Figure 3-30 Port Triggering Once configured, operation is as follows: 1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the Trigger Port field. 2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host. 3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field. Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will "Trigger" this rule. Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols supported by the router). Incoming Ports Range - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to 35

42.
TL-WR340G/TL-WR340GD 54M Wireless Router User Guide the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030. Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or ALL (all protocols supported by the router). Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled.To add a new rule, enter the following data on the Port Triggering screen.1. Click the Add New button. (pop-up Figure 3-31)2. Enter a port number used by the application when it generates an outgoing request.3. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the pull-down list, either TCP, UDP, or All.4.

The trigger connection ofother hosts on LAN will be refused.Incoming Port Range cannot overlap each other.3.7.3 DMZThe DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purposeservice such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ host forwards all the ports at thesame time. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabledand should have a new static IP Address assigned to it because its IP Address may change whenusing the DHCP function. You can set up DMZ host on this page shown in figure 5-29: Figure 3-32 DMZTo assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server:1. Click the Enable radio button2. Enter the local host IP Address in the DMZ Host IP Address field Note:After you set the DMZ host, the firewall related to the host will not work.3.7.4 UPnPThe Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows the devices, such as Internet computers, toaccess the local host resources or devices as needed. UPnP devices can be automaticallydiscovered by the UPnP service application on the LAN.
